Clipped by a Pickup

I went to Texas from California last week to visit my daughter and new grandson. We took our motorhome and I always take the bike. Depending on time available and the weather I will either ride or run daily. On Sunday 7/13 I chose to do a little run on the road in front of the RV park. It's a wide 4 lane road with a grass center median and wide shoulders. I saw several bikes riding that day and it looked like a great place to ride. On Monday I got my cycling gear on and grabbed the Madone and headed out for what I thought was going to be a 20-25 miles ride. I scouted the area on Strava and other places to see if this is where the locals like to ride as well. I got about a mile into the ride when I got clipped by a passing pickup. I remember nothing after riding up the bridge until about 2 hours later in the ER even though I was conscious. I ride with a rear facing GoPro and a forward facing VIRB Elite mostly to catch anything cool that might happen...and sometimes something horrendous happens.
